Bob Casey: “I think that word has acquired much more powerful meaning now as applied to these drugs.”

Thank you, Senator Casey, for organizing this hearing and for all you do to improve support for caregivers.

We are enormously grateful for leaders like Senator Casey who are working to make those investments a reality.

I hope that the Committee will be able to hear from him soon.

I am disappointed that Dr. de la Torre defied the subpoena this Committee authorized and has chosen not to appear today.
